POISONOUS FUNGI.
Simple Method by Which They May BE
Rendered Innocuous.

n Dy w HIGH lnty may do
Rendered Innocuous.
No certain method exists for dis
tinguishing poisonous from edible
toadstools, but it is possible by very
simple means to remove from the
poisonous ones their active principles.
This process, made known long time
ago, but brought to light again few
years since by Mr.. Fred Gerard, is
based upon the fact that the poisonous
principle of these fungi is soluble in
saline or calculated water. This
granted, the operation is as follows:
The toadstools are quartered if Of
medium Dimensions, or are cut into
eight pieces if large. One pound of
them is put into quart of water, to
which has been added a spoonful of
good strong vinegar or two spoonfuls
of table salt. They are allowed to
macerate in this liquid for one
or two hours, and are then
washed with an abundance of
water and put into vessel of cold
water, which is to be placed over a
fire. After quarter of an hours or
half an hours boiling the fungi will
have lost their noxious principle.
They are again washed, and will then
be fit for preparation for the table,
without any danger. Experience has
perfectly demonstrated the safety of
this method. Mr.. Fred. Gerard and
his family, before committee of three
members of the Health Board of Paris,
partook of repast of fungi, among
which was the poisonous "fy agaric'
(AgaricuS muscdrtus and AgaricoS bull
boSus). No one was incommodod. The
best advice to give to those who can
not distinguish between poisonous and
edible fungi is to steer entirely clear
of this sort of food. Granting the
efficiency of the above method of ren.
dering toadstoods innocuous, there is
a certain delicate and peculiar flavor
in the edible species that would be lost
in the manipulation here suggested,
and it certainly would not render
poisonous kinds desirable food, ever
after their venom had been removed

"Boufe, quick, lend me louis, that
may cuff Mouton's earsm
my dear Choquart," replied Bouffe.
~ shall be only too happy to lend you
four times the amount outside of this
place, but / can not lend you louis
for the purpose you mention"
At that moment entered the coffee
house.
"Ah! here comes Vllemot" ex-
claimed Choquart, and bounding to-
ward me he said, hurriedly: LEND
me louis. Quick! want to box
Mouton's ears, and delicacy requires
that should first give back the louis
l owe him."
| was at loss to make out what he
meant,
Don't lend it, don't lend itr' cried
out those who were present.
At that time of life, especially, l had
a strong reluctance to lend louis, SO
| drew back.
The most amusing part of the story
is that Bouffe persuaded Mouton to
believe that he was no longer in safety.
"a louis, you see, is no large sum, "
said Bouffe; "Choquart is bound to
have spare one some day, and he
will carry out his threat. If l were
you should lend him twenty louis;
he'll never be able to give back so large
a sum, and you are safe for the rest OF
your life"
So, after supper, Mouton offered to
lend Choquart twenty louis, who was
dumfounded at the proposal. He saw
the danger, but danger had special at
traction for him. He pocketed the
gold pieces, and said to Mouton as he
did SO:
"Never mind; we are not quits yet.
The first time l receive my pension
you shall get your ears boxed all the
same"
Choquart, however, was never able
to command so fabulous sum as
twenty louis at any one time, nor to
wreak righteous vengeance on the of
fender who had insulted and slandered
his King.-Bos Courier Translation

THE CRADLE OF OUR RACE.
Impossildlity of Locating 1t with Any
Degree OF Certainty.

Impossildlity of Locating 1t with Any
Degree OF Certainty.
Can we not discover the cradle of
our racer say decidedly we can not.
We may guess, with more or less prob
ability, but if our guesses are to be
submitted to tests of mathematical GER
tainty not one of them will stand the
test This ought to be understood,
and is. in fact understood among
most scholars. Many opinions held
with regard to periods of history which
are beyond the reach of historical evil
dence can never be more than possible
or plausible, To demand for them a
different character does not show any
critical sagacity, but rather igno-
rance of the limits of our knowl-
edge Thus, when we see the Celts
driven to the western parts of Europe,
pushed forward by Teutonic tribes,
and these again pressed hard by Sla-
vonic neighbors, we naturally conclude
that the Celts were the first to arrive
in Europe, the Germans the second,
the Slavs the third. But there is no
mathematical certainty for this. 1t is
nothing but the result of historical
combination. and can never be more.
Again, if we see Hellenic civilization
extending from Asia Minor to Greece,
and from Greece to Italy, and if we
find the Italians pressed by successive
inroads from the north, we are inclined
here to admit a progress of Aryan
speech and thought from the east to
the west and from the north to the
south. If, on the contrary, we con-
slider that the Aryan conquerors OF
India came clearly from the north
along the rivers of the Punjab, while
before that time they must have dwell
for a certain period together with the
people who became the founders of the
/ first European dialects, we find it diff
cult to resist the conviction that some
halfway point from which the north
western and southeastern tribes could
have diverged may mark the origina
home of the Aryans.-MaI Muller, "a

The Babies Thumbs.

According to DR.. Berillon, the well.
known French specialist, the practice of
sucking the thumbs at night, to which SO
many children are addicted, and of which
it is next to impossible to break them, can
be put a stop to by single hypnotizatiou,
accompanied, of course, with the requisite
suggestion. The child never by any chance
returns to the habit again, though his
memory retains no trace of the order Or
prohibition which operates so powerfully
on his will.

A Mortgage Of 1922.

Thirty-three years ago General N. P.
Banks purchased the fine old homestead
in Waltham, Mass, where he has ever since
resided. The seller gave him warranty
deed, in which he covenanted that there
were no encumbrances thereon, and such
was supposed to be the fact until few
months ago, when it was discovered that
a mortgage for $3.50 placed upon the
property in 1922 still stood upon the records
at East Cambridge, undischarged. The
Supreme Court of the State has been APP
piled to to remove this cloud on the title.

Choquart died in poverty. For
over twenty years he had lived on a
small pension granted him by the
Comte de Chambord. When, how
ever, he received five hundred francs,
his wont wa. to give his friends sup
per which cost the same sum, so that
on certain days of the year he went
supperless to bed. Still, he was ex-
tremely punctilious in money matters.
Another chapter will throw light on
this side of his character.
Several years ago, we were supping,
after midnight, at the Vaudeville cof-
fee-house. Among those present were
Bouffe, the lessee and manager of the
Vaudeville Theater; Briffaut, the jour-
nalist; Dr. Lallemand, who was the
proprietor of the Passage Radziwill;
an old notary of the name of Dubois;
Armand Marrast then writer on the
staff of the Tribune; an old sheriff S
officer, called Mouton. and Choquart
The latter had, as usual, grown ten
der over the fate Of the Princes belong
ing to the elder line; and Mouton. the
sheriff's officer, whose political SYM
pathies inclined toward the Republic,
went so far as to say that Charles y.
was an old idiot. At this. Choquart,
pale with rage, rose from his seat and
said to Mouton:
Il have taken an oath to slap the
face of any man who insults my
King. | shall now, therefore, SLAP
yours"
The situation was exceedingly grave
and every body felt dreadfully uncom
Portable. Choquart suddenly stopped
short, and said:

Tae New French President.

On last Saturday the French Con
gress elected Sardi- Carnot as Pres
ldent of the Republic, in place o.
n. Grevy, re<ig Ell
Grevy made good President
and brought peace and prosperity
to France. His son IN law Wilson
engaged IN the business of selling
decorations and degrees. civil and
military. In France degree or an
.honorary-titie is most highly prized
and as they properly thlnk shonId
be won by merit, not bought with
money.
Wilson is an EngIisman and did
not appreciate the high sense of
honor the French feel for the right
to wear military badge or scholas-
tic ribbon. His close relationship
to the President. enabled him, as 1t
did Babcock with Grant, to dispose
of favors to those who had money to
buy them.
The conduct of Wilson was go
odious to the French that no man
of repnte would serve in President
Grevy's cabinet, and he was asked
to resign, which he did.
The election OF his successor was
by the French Assembly, a body
similar to our Congress. and was
accomplished without disturbance
of any serious chara cter.
